Right to prayer? ... am i missing something?

This is for all religions right?

And it also allows for non-believers to be excused, right?

So why is it an issue?

I went to a religious school but was excused from all religious assemblies. I had no issue with those wanting to pray and would sometimes go to the assembly.

In my part of the Bible Belt.. students can pray in a public school
It shouldn’t be led by a staff member though.
My school has a prayer room for Muslim students.
It doesn’t involve staff at all ..
As soon as we allow adults in the mix” leading”
It sets one religion above another..

The separation of church and state is showing cracks today…

@BabyLonia it should go to the earths core.

Being in the 1st amendment..it’s a big deal..I would guess

@SW-User so then, to repeat a question i asked someone else on this post, is the country's motto "in god we trust"

@BabyLonia that phrase was stuck on the coins in the 1950s

Few of the “founding fathers” were Christian.

Now the crazy pilgrims…were another story..but they didn’t want religious freedom for everyone..
